Atlas Lantz Studio is an ideas-driven architecture and design practice in Los Angeles. We are organized around four ambitions — Human, Gravity, Medium, Curiosity — and we work across mediums, scales, and geographies in pursuit of resilient, human-centered environments.
Four commitments that shape every decision we make — from the smallest detail to the largest plan.
We believe in being global citizens.
The human condition is our common ground. Through design, we work to make the built world more aware of the lives it holds, shapes, and influences. Even the smallest shift in perspective can reveal entirely new ways of seeing.
We feel the weight of a changing world around us.
To practice today is to accept responsibility for what we shape and what we consume. A design studio must do more than respond to the next five years — it must project fifty years forward, designing with permanence, restraint, resilience and clarity.
We are not traditional architects or designers.
In the 21st century, effective design operates across mediums, scales, and systems. Sometimes the solution is a building; other times it is a framework, a process, or a plan that sustains what already exists.
We practice relentless curiosity.
Architecture has long been built on the idea that a solution, once proven, can be repeated endlessly. We reject this assumption. The world is not uniform — diversity is a constant, not a variable to be ignored.
The fundamentals of how we’re organized, where we work, and what we deliver — a Los Angeles–based, NGLCC-certified small business with full-service capability across eight U.S. states and design consultancy across the world.
A bio in the studio voice — the experience, the lineage, and the credentials behind the practice.
Andy Lantz is an architect and visionary leader whose work is rooted in the belief that design carries responsibility far beyond the object. His practice bridges vision and execution, ensuring that every project — regardless of scale or geography — contributes meaningfully to the human, ecological, and cultural systems it inhabits. Architecture, for Andy, is an act of stewardship as much as it is an act of creation.
With more than two decades of experience across architecture, interior architecture, urban design, and master planning, Andy brings a deeply multidisciplinary perspective to complex challenges. His work spans competition-winning public spaces, large-scale urban master plans, cultural and music institutions, content production campuses, and future-focused workplace environments. From award-winning projects for Spotify, Sony Pictures Animation, and 11755 Wilshire in Los Angeles to work across Chicago, New York, Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, China, London, and beyond, his portfolio reflects a consistent commitment to making the built world more connected, more human, and more relevant to the needs of the twenty-first century.
Prior to founding Atlas Lantz Studio, Andy served as Co-CEO, Partner, and Global Creative Director at RIOS, where he spent fifteen years shaping the firm’s creative direction and global growth. During his tenure, he led the expansion of the practice into London, Shanghai, and Singapore, building international teams and establishing a unified design language informed by global issues, local cultures, and relentless curiosity. His leadership ensured that RIOS operated as a single, interconnected practice — one that learned from the world as it designed for it.
Beyond practice, Andy is a recognized thought leader, contributing to industry panels, keynote engagements, and national broadcasts. Through these platforms, he continues to advocate for design thinking as a critical tool for navigating complexity, shaping the future of work, and guiding responsible decision-making in a changing world.
A small, deliberate team. Each role is paired with an articulated growth path — supporting licensure, continuing education, and independent design judgment.
Aditya Jagdale is a Los Angeles–based architectural designer whose practice explores the balance between provocative ideas and their manifestation in built reality. As Designer III at Atlas Lantz Studio, he contributes to projects spanning architecture, interiors, and urban design from concept through construction administration, while leading technology R&D efforts that advance computational workflows, real-time rendering, and emerging design tools. A 2021 Bachelor of Architecture graduate of SCI-Arc — where he later returned as Adjunct Faculty alongside Eric Owen Moss — he is a recipient of Interior Design Magazine’s 30/30 Award (2023) and has exhibited work across multiple SCI-Arc Spring Shows.
A licensed architect leading projects through all phases of design, documentation, and construction administration. Translates concepts into coordinated, code-compliant, and constructible work — central point of coordination between design intent, consultants, and clients.
A licensed architect with twelve-plus years of experience delivering complex projects across multiple typologies and geographies. Brings clarity, judgment, and perspective to both design leadership and project delivery — partnering closely with the Founder on design direction, mentorship, and the pursuit of new work.
